Dreaming of a stylish, custom bathroom vanity without breaking the bank? This post is for you! After trying (and failing) to use a vintage nightstand as a vanity, I quickly realized it wasn’t practical for everyday use—the drawer started coming apart, and it simply couldn’t handle the wear and tear of daily life. So instead, let’s do an Ikea hack bathroom vanity.

Their plumbing setup takes up minimal space, which leaves more room for drawers—a must-have for a small bathroom like ours. Today, I’ll walk you through how we transformed this basic piece into a charming, functional centerpiece for our bathroom.
